20 POINTS PLEASE HELP DUE IN A HOUR :( please show how you got the answer

Tomas asked 15 students whether summer break should be longer. He used his calulator to divide the number of student who said yes to the total number of students. His calculator showed result as 0.9333....

A. Write this number as a fraction.

B. How many students said that summer break should be longer?

Answer 1

well we know the fraction must be out of 15.

so keep plugging in numbers (1-15) out of 15 to see which equals 0.933...

14/15 = 0.9333... after some strenuous work with a calculator.

this means 14 students said "yes" to summer break should be longer

just in case you didnt follow along: A. 14/15, B. 14 students
